Hi

After setting up web2py+apache with wsgi on windows, I can see web2py admin page at http://localhost/admin/default/index. But it is asking password to log into the administrative interface. How to set a password? Is there any default password for first time entrance?

Thanks

My simple way:

a) stop apache server
b) start web2py server in standard way by double clicking web2py.py in order that it creates its own files
c) in displayed window set the admin password
d) stop web2py server and check that in web2py folder there are "options_std.py" and "parameters_8000.py"
e) open "options_std.py" and make sure of row "password = '<recycle>'" is present
f) restart apache server

Now you sholuld be able to access to admin interface.

If you are interested omi chiba has written a guide to setup a wamp server that supports web2py through mod_wsgi.
